:D :D We may need T-shirts next. Or better yet, baseball caps...

Right, tried to search the threads but didn't see this one reported (was not reported in the community issue tracker at the time I searched).. Well, that sucks, hopefully that's fixed soon.. Finding locations on Chernarus based on the GPS is kinda hard without the longitude :rolleyes: Otherwise, loving the game completely :)

One question: Am I just blind, or are you guys also missing the longitudes on the in-game (as in while playing, not the editor) map? I can only see the latitude.. :confused:

It kinda depends on what it hits, plain ground doesn't have much that would burn.. Regarding the trajectory stuff if you fire a 'burst' of flame it will have that parabolic trajectory, and it uses the basic ArmA ballistics stuff so I haven't calculated anything. The whole thing is nothing special really, many could probably make it much more efficiently since I have always completely sucked at the particle stuff..

I'm betting the problematic card version was the older one with the "weird" 640 or 320Mb memory? To me it always sounded like the "non-conventional" memory stuff was the cause for the problems.. I have had the newer 8800 GTS 512mb since it was released and I have had no problems in ArmA with it, nor in any game I have thrown at it. ArmA runs everything except AAx2 (and terrain on normal) maxed at 1920x1200 resolution smoothly..

As in May 2010.. EDIT: Actually, it starts in March 2010 From the M$ RC download site: Dunno about the earlier beta release (maybe Jahve meant that one..)

I concur with k @voven (space there because othervise the forums turns the nick into 'mailto'.. ).. I have always marvelled the level of whining on these forums.. Just take a minute to think about how you would feel if every single f'ing step you take (no matter how long/short, or wide) was stalked and manically broke down into segments by someone (representing all the symptoms of criminally insane worth of a Slayer song) who has no knowledge on any of the aspects that go into developing a code worth of releasing as a game (reading wikipedia doesn't count ). My heart (even though in full possession of King Alcohol at this moment) goes to BIS, you made THE game ever and this far Arma 2 footage and images are showing me exactly what a true successor of OFP should be. I can't f***ing wait for the release of the game Even though there might not be Crysis-like entering a vehicle anims etc. I myself have not seen one thing that would not make me not buy the game (lack of 'gunners-hands-on-turretweapon-anims doesn't affect my ability to engage the nme).. I was sold the second this game was announced.. The only thing annoying me in ArmA is the AI pathfinding horror show (it is understandable if it's some Arma 2 beta AI in testing which reading between the line seem to suggest), so I hope that has been taken care of..

Yup. Seems to be pretty much in the same vein as BIS editor is, only the interface shown on some video was more 'windows like'.. One thing I noticed on that same video was the particle effect editor, I was left unclear though whether it belonged to the 'modding/mission editing' tools or not.. If it is, miles ahead of the incredibly annoyingly manual particlesource/drop scripting stuff.. I'm in hope this one will be a good game too, the only thing they should have done is to call it something else than Operation Flashpoint, Dragon Rising alone would be good enough title..

My Lite-On lasted a bit over 3 years, after a bit over 2 years it just started to 'disappear' from windows and corrupt written data, first very rarely but getting exponentially worse when time passed. It did start to dislike RW discs quite some time before -/+R discs.. Then it had a meeting with my shotgun

http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/VBS2:_Event_Handlers VBS2 eventhandlers.. Â I so hope at least those will be implemented in Arma 2.

Nope, we are not a part of FDF mod..

If they would change two things: - You have to shoot a god damn shirtless guy dozens of times (in the torso) for him to die = utter crap. I would welcome dying in one shot method instead of the dumb pulling-out-the-bullet-of-whatever-limb animation anytime (let alone the retarded syringe thingy).. - The already (several times) mentioned completely retarded almost-instant-checkpoint/town-enemy-respawn.. Man that gets annoying after a couple of hours. They could just replace it with actual arriving reinforcements and that would be it.. But I guess that's for the genral FPS crowd, been checking a few FC2 related forums and no-one even mentiones the idiotic insta-respawn.. Other than that, insanely addictive gamem been playing it for too many hours.. With this and GTA 4 death is inevitable

Q6600 @3.2Ghz 4Gb G.Skill DDR2 @ 800+ Mhz 8800GTS 512Mb (the G92 version, beats 8800GTX hand down..) 1Tb HDD (RAID) Vista Ultimate 64bit (would have 64 XP but it's too damn annoying to install; "Press F6 for 3rd party SCSI drivers".. Bah, way too 90's..) 26" screen (1920x1200) I'm guessing no worries with Arma2

Hmmmm A Finnish reviewer gave it 3 out 5 stars. Said that it's better than most game adaptations. If he's talking about movies like Tomb Raider, Doom or Mortal Kombat then it's probably oscar-worthy ..

Well, getting into Valhalla would kinda secure you with immortality so that could be it, although it's a bit far fetch.. I absolutely loved the darkness of the Max Payne 2 story so it would be just awesome if they could capture it. Hope springs that they could honor the Thief series in form of a good movie.. I would know a good script for it, one that me and my friend wrote years and years ago....

Don't remember that from the game(s).. Dunno where they would get that idea from though.. In Norwegian mythology Valkyries are female minor deities serving Odin. IIRC they were deities who decided the 'worthyness for Valhalla' (read: heroism) of the combatants died in battles.. I so hope they don't screw up this movie. Been hoping a Max Payne movie ever since the first game..

Then there should also be a getSkill array command to go with it.... Or the existing one modified to return the array.

Reading fast through that (forum mangled) script I didn't see you destroying the particlesources you have created. That's the easiest way to make them stop 'effecting'.. EDIT: Too slow..

Glad to see yous guys are still around Â

I think you will find that the millions of people with diabetes might find this a wee bit dumb comment..

A garden drone?

Seems to be pretty common problem with that board... I had the same exact problem with my old system using Asus M2N SLI Deluxe board. I was able to boot it properly by pushing the power button and then the reset button immediately after. Had to do that a few times and then the system started to boot normally. Never found out why it did that. Also if the power button connector is placed the wrong way around it may cause that problem. I have also dealed with boards where the board comes with the CMOS jumper set to the 'clear' position which also causes that same problem. In one case the manual was mis-printed because the position it claimed to be the 'clear' position was actually not it..

Brilliant stuff! Now all we need is a mod based on this (wouldn't require that much alien stuff though):
